Spelling: We reviewed prefixes, suffixes and base words today.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences of seven or more words each are due on Fridays.
Reading: Today was a reading day in Literature Circles. Some groups worked on visualizing as a reading strategy.
Writing: We reviewed the three main components of a story:
- Characters (the people of the story)
- Plot (the action of the story)

Every story, even personal narratives, have these main ingredients.
A personal narrative is due Friday, October 15. Students should be revising at this time.
